What we publish
Our focus is the economics of completing creative work: accepted footage instead of generated footage, retry reserves, plan fit, editing costs, and documented source rights. The free calculator is a starting point, not the whole production budget.
What makes this useful
Every estimate can be challenged. Readers can replace rate assumptions, change the duration and attempts, compare scenarios, and see the formula. Guides include original examples and decision tables; invented numbers are clearly labeled. This prevents a hypothetical result from masquerading as market data.
Editorial independence
We are an independent project. We are not affiliated with Runway or Google. We do not place vendors into rankings based on commissions. Where financial relationships are introduced in future, pages will disclose them clearly.
How the site operates
This is an independent, publicly accessible educational website on Cloudflare Pages. Its calculator runs in your browser without an account. Articles describe hypothetical planning examples rather than claimed field-test results. We do not claim advertising approval, paid endorsements, or historical performance statistics.
Creators should check current model prices and product availability directly with each provider. If you find a mistake or outdated information, contact our editor; material corrections will be noted.
